1. SHORTLISTED: WOMEN IN THE SHADOWS OF THE SUPREME COURT, with H. Johnson (New York University Press 2020)

Select Reviews

“This fascinating book reconstructs a chapter of women’s history that has been hiding in plain sight: the numerous qualified women whose names were floated for the Supreme Court but who never got there. Just as they were overlooked, so have their individual stories, until now.” — Linda Greenhouse, New York Times contributing columnist

“Stunningly original in its focus and its careful research, Shortlisted is beautifully written and an important addition to the literature about the Supreme Court, the process of nominating justices, and the role of gender in American law.” — Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law

“This is a major contribution to the story of women lawyers.” — The Honorable Nancy Gertner, United States District Court Judge (Ret.) and Senior Lecturer, Harvard Law School

“Shortlisted tells the political and personal sagas of women publicly considered for appointment to the Supreme Court but never actually nominated by a president... With fresh research, the authors effectively humanize the women who never received the nominations they deserved.” — Kirkus Reviews

“An excellent contribution...and essential for anyone who values diversity.” — Library Journal

“A perfect read … for anyone hoping to learn from our history about how to brighten our future through systemic change that truly accounts for the diversity that the American populous represents. … While many scholarly works leave us yearning for more, Shortlisted follows through on its promise to provide practical advice for change.” — Law & Politics Book Review
